Abstract:
The present invention corresponds to a method and a circuit for compensating the offset voltage of electronic circuits, where the circuit implementing the method comprises: a dynamic comparator (1); a phase detector (6) connected to the dynamic comparator (1), the phase detector (6); a finite-state machine (9) connected to the phase detector (4), a first digital-analog converter (12) connected to an output of the finite-state machine (9); a second digital-analog converter (13) connected to another output (11) of the finite-state machine (9); a polarization block (14) with a first input (15) connected to the output of the first digital-analog converter (12) and a second input (16) connected to the output of the second digital-analog converter (13); where the polarization block (14) polarizes an electronic circuit (17) and the dynamic comparator (1), the phase detector (6), and the finite-state machine (9) are connected to a clock signal (3). The method is characterized by the following steps: a) connecting a dynamic comparator to the output of the electronic circuit; b) measuring the phase change of the dynamic comparator outputs of step a by means of a phase detector; c) controlling the output signals of a finite-state machine according to the phase detector output of step b, which can be coded “forward”, “backward” or “in phase”; c) converting the output of the finite-state machine of step c to an analog signal using two digital-analog converters; d) connecting the output of the two digital-analog converters of step d to the control terminal of the electronic circuit polarization block; and, e) modifying the polarization current of the electronic circuit polarization block by means of the output signals of the two digital-analog converters connected in step e.
